June temperatures might get hot, but not
hotter than the tournament we had a Grapevine this month. 81
people fished this tournament and 65
of them had 3 fish limits. Wow!!! Out of all of those
limits, none were bigger than the sack that Daniel Kammerdiener found.
He weighed in his limit of 7.12 lbs. Maybe we should auction
off that horse's patoot trophy instead? It seems to be
a lucky charm for winning tournaments! The top three were separated by
0.11 lbs with Joe Toone in second (7.08 lbs.) and Jay Rackel in
third (7.01 lbs.). This was one of the closest we have had in
a while. Great job to the top three and the entire club on a
good day of fishing. Also, Eddie Jones found the biggest bass
with his chunk of 4.91 lbs. Great
job!
Just a reminder for the points standing for the year. We give awards to the angler of
the year, top six, heavy stringer, big fish, and ladies angler
of the year, etc. As of right now if you think
that you might be out of it ... think again ... remember that we
drop your worst tournament if you fish them all. This
wrinkle in the point system will change the standings as
they look on the web site. Example: Right now if you look
at the standings it has me in first place with Roger Malone in
second. When you drop the worst tournament, Roger is in
first with me trailing him by a couple of points. (Goes to show
you Roger is tough to beat.) With that said ... keep
fishing and weighing in fish and the standings could
change.
The
weigh in procedure that we implemented for the Grapevine
tournament went really well. Of the 211 fish weighed, we only had
3 dead fish. Much better than what happened on
Bridgeport. I want to thank Tim Johnson and Elaine Barnes for doing
a great job again. Also, I would like to specially thank Roger
Malone and David Mulcahy for helping them
out.
On an important note:
The launch site/weigh in has changed for the Cedar Creek
Tournament. The old site was Log Cabin and the new site is
FISHERMAN'S WHARF. PLEASE PASS THE WORD. I hope that everyone
has a great day fishing and stays safe. Remember kill switches
and life jackets save lives.
